Took the computer to a local computer shop. They just called, and the computer no longer requires a password. A well spent 35 bucks. Now, the question is: Does Windows 10 require that you have a user name/account and password? I would rather not have to deal with it. I just want the computer and JAWS to come up!! But, I can handle it, if absolutely necessary. Talk to me, folks. Thanks for your input. Neil

I was in the process of setting up an MS account, and even established a password. But, somehow never got the account verified. Now, Win 10 comes up asking for a password. It even shows the hint for the password. But, it will not accept it. Nor, will it accept any other MS passwords I have. For the user name, which narrator does not read, it just has the first and last name, with the proper capital letters, and a space between the first and last name. My wife could see that. I liked Windows 10, until this. The MS Help Desk worked mightily with me and my wife, who is sighted. No luck. We could not even roll back to Win 7. Needed the password to do that. So, here is my question. Can a computer geek at the local shop push past the password and unlock the computer? I would not mind investing a little money into it. Probably an hour's worth of work. So, I am looking for opinions. Thanks a bunch.
